I strongly recommend it to everyone looking for a romantic dinner or just for a night out. Specific food accompanied by chef when served to the table. Just a great place :) More

My wife and I had dinner at IL Piatto the last night of our vacation in Santa Fe. It was on a Monday evening and the restaurant was only about a half full. The restaurant was right around the corner from our hotel (Hotel Chimayo) and only about a block or so from the Plaza in downtown Santa Fe. The... More

Our favorite Italian restaurants in Santa Fe are Il Piatto and Andiamo. They are good at different things. Most recently, I loved both duck dishes that I had at Il Piatto, the duck liver crostini and the especially the duck pappardelle. The salad special and the cannelloni dish stuffed with goat cheese (vegetarian), however, were both rather bland. In the... More

Excellent food however the service was extremely slow- I knew we were in trouble when the hostess asked us if the server had greeted us and after the server later asked if we had another course coming, we should have left. It never got better and no one expressed any concern. We will NOT be back. More

It was ok, we had been told it was amazing but I would not put it in that category. It's probably better when you dine in. More

Hi, You are absolutely right in your comment about the food being better at the restaurant. That's why we don't deliver. Perhaps a friend or an associate picked it up and brought it to you; but our restaurant is not affiliated with any delivery service, nor do we offer this service. We cater and do in house parties and banquets,... More

My husband and I dine here occasionally. We always think of it if we're in town and want something other than Sushi or Soup. The menu is well rounded standard Italian that you would expect at a restaurant of this type. The food is usually better than just good. Pasta, salads, fish and vegetarian dishes. The wines by the glass... More

We just went to Il Piato and gladly found out they the had half off bottles of over 5 different wines, which is always a plus. They are runnig this special for the whole month of December so we will definitely take advantage of that again. I had the Gorgonzola Ravioli with sundried tomato pesto....soo good!!! Homemade too, which is... More

We dined here on a Sunday evening in November - we did not have reservations and had no wait time. I chose this restaurant because I am a vegetarian and the were various options on the menu to choose from for me. The service as courteous and friendly, and the environment was cute and cozy. I had the Arugula Salad,... More

Our trip to Santa Fe is never complete without dinner at Il Piatto. One thing I personally enjoy is the option to order a small pasta entree rather than the regular dinner size. They have one with duck breast and pappardelle which is just divine, and the smaller size is just perfect. We have truly enjoyed every meal we've had... More
